pricing my coin

Vardaman

Hi,

I'm unable to understand the pricing guide, as I look up my coin: which lists such figures as "1887", "MS63", "7172.63/1295521".

I gather from the guide that a certain column reveals the price, which in the case of the row for "7172" is 165. Assuming that was the right row, what does that figure mean? 165 cents?

Thanks.

1887 is the date
MS63 is the grade
7172 is the PCGS coin #
.63 is the grade again
1295521 is the serial number

Just find the date, and match it with the grade--there's the price in dollars (albeit the PCGS price guide is oftentimes way off)

The PCGS price guide says the retail value is $45. But that's a bit high.

Welcome to the boards.

Unless wildly toned or something else is special about you coin, the value is in the $35-40 range. If you walk in to a dealer it would likely be in the $30 range for a fair offer.
